I can't rack my brain like that and give you a definitive list - so will instead give you the 60s films I've given five stars to since I joined Letterboxd - which was not that long ago, so the list is not long:

Sanjuro
Yojimbo
Woman in the Dunes
The Cremator
The Fabulous Baron Munchausen
La Notte
Cleo, From 5 to 7
Kwaidan
Daisies
I Am Cuba
Night of the Living Dead
Knife in the Water
L'avventura
La Dolce Vita
8½
Repulsion

OK. Why not? I've followed you.

I'm not much into the social networking aspects of the site - such as they are - so I don't publish my reviews. I keep my own thoughts on a private list (for now, anyway) and just use it for its core function of keeping a diary of watches.

I prefer a message board format to discuss films to the review/comment format Letterboxd currently provides. And I seek refuge from the tyranny of the 'like'/subscribe/comment/follower/dopamine hit web 2.0 stuff... But why not?
